RACERS KEPT ASKING FOR MORE THAN FUEL.

Overheating, brake fade, lubrication failures, and inconsistent grip can end a race just as quickly as a bad tune-up. Those challenges led VP Racing beyond the fuel tank.

RACERS KEPT ASKING FOR MORE THAN FUEL.

MORE POWER CREATES NEW CHALLENGES.

Every VP Racing fuel began with a performance problem. Racers needed more consistency, more power, and more confidence than conventional fuel could deliver. But fuel is only the beginning.

As engine performance increases, so do temperatures, pressures, and loads throughout the vehicle. Higher cylinder pressures place greater demands on bearings and lubricants. More power generates additional heat in the cooling system. Faster acceleration creates harder braking zones and greater stress on critical components.

Solving one performance problem often reveals the next. VP Racing expanded beyond fuel, developing racing oils, coolants, brake fluids, and traction compounds designed to support the systems that performance depends on most.

PERFORMANCE DOESN'T STOP AT THE ENGINE.

VP Racing's product range now includes full synthetic and mineral racing oils, gear oils, two-stroke and four-stroke powersports lubricants, racing coolants, brake fluids, assembly lubricants, and drag racing traction compounds.

Each product was developed for the same reason VP Racing developed fuel in the first place: to remove variables, improve reliability, and help competitors perform consistently under demanding conditions.

Whether protecting engine components, managing heat, improving braking performance, or maximizing traction, every product serves the same goal.

Deliver confidence when performance matters most.

 

TRUSTED BY THE PEOPLE PUSHING THE LIMIT.

The best validation doesn't come from a product sheet; it comes from the people relying on the product under pressure. The Erbacher Top Fuel team uses VP Racing fuel and lubricants in dragsters producing approximately 11,000 horsepower. The same family's Porsche restoration and performance workshop recommends VP Racing 15W-50 motor oil for the high-performance engines it builds.

FIA European Pro Stock champions Jimmy Ålund, Michael Malmgren, and Stefan Ernryd have trusted VP Racing fuels and lubricants throughout years of competition at the highest levels of European drag racing.

Beyond the vehicle itself, VP Racing products also support the racing surface. VP Racing traction compound has been used at Santa Pod Raceway for years and was applied at every round of the 2026 FIA European Drag Racing Championship, including Hockenheimring's first season using the product.

 

Performance isn't built by one product alone. It's the result of multiple systems working together.

 

RACERS KEPT ASKING FOR MORE THAN FUEL.

Fuel remains the foundation of the VP Racing story, but racers didn't stop bringing VP Racing fuel-related challenges. They brought lubrication challenges, cooling challenges, braking challenges, and traction challenges.

 

More than fifty years after the first VP Racing fuel was developed, the company continues to solve the same problem it started with: helping racers remove obstacles between their equipment and peak performa
